@Steve lol. The barriers are guan. He will have a veeeeery difficult time prototyping with the player's surfacemount μCs & other components. Secondly Sony will most definitely use their own custom μCs that have very little if any useful supporting documentation available to the public. Couple all that with a possible steep learning curve and the threat of legal action<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Computer_Entertainment_America_v._George_Hotz> and it will be clear that all that trouble just to play excluded formats on the HT will not be worth it. _______________________________________________ *Good judgement comes from Experience.* *Most of that comes from Bad Judgement.* _______________________________________________ * * 2011/12/5 Steve Obbayi <steve@sobbayi.com>
Ok not sure about this particular device but depending on the type of microcontroller used for playback you may have to program the codecs right into it. unfortunately some microcontrollers are read only but thats is debatable. The other option is get a compatible generic microcontroller and program into it. The programming tools (usually in Assembler)are in most cases provided free from the hardware manufacturer but again it depends. once you've programmed the microcontroller then remove the one there and replace with the one you've just programmed. (You will need a solder gun and a screw driver for this). If you cant do what is mentioned above then get hold of the nearest computer engineer or electrical engineer to sort you out :) The good news is am sure there is an easier way around this

Hey Skunks
Got a sony home theater (DAV 610) that does not play some video formats except AVI and VOB on dvd, it does not recognize anything except mp3 file on USB drive. Is there any place or a way to fix this or enable it to support this format.
Ideas,,, suggestions
